Pamela Marvin met Lee while she was in her teens, and he was just returning from the war. He left their small town to pursue a career in acting. They split up then, only to reunite and marry over twenty years later, remaining together until Lee's death.

Not only an intimate portrait of one of the screen's most memorable tough guys, in Lee, Pamela Marvin brings to vivid life the history-making palimony suit brought against Lee by a former girlfriend, their extraordinary, world-record-breaking fishing exploits throughout the world, and the harrowing series of accidents and errors that led to Lee's death. Also included are Lee's own World War II journals, which offer a rare insight into a legendary actor's response to war.
